Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 43

Sara was not in a hurry to go home, so she went to a supermarket. She hadn't cooked well for a long time. Although she didn't know much about cooking, she learned secretly when she saw Winnie cooking. It was her first day back home. She decided to cook by herself and wait for her father to come back for dinner.

After buying some food, Sara went straight home. Along the way, she had been adjusting her mood cause she couldn't let her father see that she was very sad and she couldn't collapse. She had to face the following things with her father.

The most terrible thing in life is not something unknown, but something that is known and irreversible. For example, a condemned prisoner had already known the term of imprisonment, and a cancer patient had known the time of death. The most terrible thing was that you knew in advance what was going to happen, but you could do nothing but wait patiently. Maybe fate was always so cruel and merciless.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when Sara came back home. She didn't have lunch, but she didn't feel hungry. When she was not in the mood to eat, she always didn't feel hungry.

Sara's father's residence was not far away from her father's company, which was three blocks away.

Sara took out the key to her house. She didn't expect that the lock hadn't changed after so many years. But she felt she was so unfilial. After she married Jacob, she had been Jacob's wife. She had been busy for 4 years and only came back here two times, and she just had a meal before leaving. Although her father always said that it was nothing and she could live alone, she didn't understand her father's feeling of living alone.

The furnishings in the room were almost unchanged. After putting the dishes in the kitchen, she went back to her own room, which was almost unchanged and spotless. It seemed that she had cleaned it a lot. Tears welled up in Sara's eyes. People are always like this. We always like to ignore our closest people, but to please those who don't like us.

She took her luggage back to her room. From today on, she might have to live here for a long time. Should she thank Jacob? Without him, she probably wouldn't have much time to go home and live in this life.

After putting down her luggage, Sara sent a message to her father, telling him to go home early for dinner.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw a photograph of her family on the wall. Sara really couldn't love her mother in the photo.

In her memory, her mother liked shopping, from luxury goods to all kinds of accessories. She was a real shopaholic. In fact, she didn't care much about her and her father. In her memory, her mother would only blame her father for his incompetence and unable to satisfy her shopping desires. Her mother was very beautiful, and to a large extent, Sara's appearance was inherited from her mother, but her personality was not.

Her father resigned and then startup a company under her mother's shopping desire, but the business of the company was not growing as fast as those of the others. At that time, her mother would only blame her father for his out of connections and she had always been domineering.

Her mother barely cook. Her father worked hard every day to come back from the company and cook for the family after work. At last, he was too busy to take care of both.

The divorce was the first difficult period for her father's company. Her father signed the divorce agreement without saying anything. Sara was in the first year of her high school.

Because of this, her father had developed a character of not admitting defeat, or in other words, he could not afford to lose. Because the company hadn't thrived, her mother had left him and also abandoned her father and Sara.

Since then, Sara had gradually developed a cold and arrogant character.

It rained heavily on the day of their divorce. Sara still remembered the lightning and thunder that day. She looked at her mother dragging her luggage and went out without hesitation. The heavy rain did not stop her. Since then, Sara had realized that if someone had made up her mind, you didn't have to chase after her.

Her father was hit hard by this and was alone. After turning the loss into profit, the company earned some money gradually, but Sara knew what her father was thinking.

Because you have never been poor, and you don't understand the feeling of a lover leaving you because of money. When everyone left, they would say in a lofty voice, "I left you because I couldn't see hope in you."

Was it real? It was obvious that he can't satisfy her desire.

When Sara graduated from university, her father's company was in trouble again. That day, the evening glow was as red as fire. Sara agreed to the marriage agreement with Jacob. She didn't want to see her father suffer another blow in his life.

Over the years, after her mother left on that rainy day, she had never come back. Perhaps it was because she had found her Mr. Right and there was no need to come back. Maybe it was because she was too unfortunate to come back.

Anyway, Sara had never seen her mother again. Unfortunately. Maybe it was because of money that her mother left the family that Sara realized how indifferent her mother was to her.

What you wanted, what you would lose. Sara didn't know if her father was unhappy when she married Jacob. Her father never cared about how Jacob treated her. He had always had Sara made the choice for herself. Just like what he had been to Sara's mother. However, the difference was that Sara's mother chose to abandon them at a critical moment, while Sara chose to sacrifice herself.

Carlos had always felt guilty for his daughter. Because of his incompetence, his daughter Sara lost her mother, and because of his incompetence, his daughter's marriage was unfortunate.

It had never occurred to Sara that no matter what kind of life she had experienced, she would accept it, because it was a common choice for her and the people around her.

So from now on, she had to be with her father and faced the sufferings together. She was willing to bear all kinds of hardships, no matter what. She would not choose to freak out like her mother.

She withdrew her eyes from the family photo. For so many years, her father was still reluctant to take it off from the wall. Even if her mother left her and her father without hesitation, he still loved her with a tolerant heart.

After her mother left, her father never complained. Sometimes, he would persuade Sara not to hate her mother. She had the right to make such a decision. Maybe it was because Sara had taken in his words that she didn't feel angry with her mother now. She neither loved or hated her mother. She just knew she had such a mother.

Those who abandon me cannot stay yesterday, those who disturb my mind will be more worried about what happened today.

Sara seldom cooked, but she knew how to cook. After her mother left, her father often worked overtime in his company. Every time her father asked her to order takeout, she would cook by herself. But after she went to college and married Jacob, she had little chance to cook.

Sara washed the vegetables carefully. Even though she was not skillful, she did it very carefully. For so many years, she had never cooked a meal for her father. Sara felt guilty that her father was so lonely.

It was already 5:30 when Carlos returned home with a smile. He felt that it was a festival day. His daughter hadn't gone home for dinner for a long time. He didn't expect that she would specially go home to cook today.

Carlos opened the door happily and smelled the cooking aroma from the kitchen. Then he left. Standing in the kitchen, Sara was cooking in an apron. Several dishes had been prepared on the table, looking delicious.

When her father came back, Sara turned around and shouted, "Dad, go wash your hands first. The dinner will be ready soon. I'll make some fresh soup."

Carlos grinned and replied, "Okay, okay."

In fact, he had never experienced such a warm scene before. But today, he seemed to be reviewing.

After washing his hands, Carlos sat on the table, picked up the chopsticks and took the shredded pork with green pepper in front of him. "Wow, it's tasty. Sara, I never expected you are good at cooking!"
